^ yeah they used one of the first ones I did too.
Are you still going to make the ties then mate?
Not to any great degree H I cannae afford it... I'll probs just get them made for myself. I think you should look into it though!

Excellently turned out, Lax.
Billax does it again!
Thank you, Gentlemen! I am grateful for your comments. While I dress in the Ivy League Look, as I have for 56 years, my idiosyncrasy now runs to the flamboyant, as it did when I was eighteen. Then, it hid a lack of developed taste. Today, it seeks to hide wrinkled skin, hair loss, less toned abs - and many other shortcomings. A moment is coming (soon I fear) when apparel cannot overcome decay. Then, I will thank you all one last time, and retire from the scene.

billax - lovely presentation. a question.
Do you still buy yourself clothes etc or have you reached a point where you can get whatever you need from your wardrobe?
And thanks - I was wondering where I could get white OTC socks - I used to be able to buy wonderful cheap and cheerful OTC white cotton walking socks just around the corner from me - now I cant get them anywhere. I wear white socks nearly always when I wear jeans and desert boots or chukkas. I never wear shoes with jeans.
billax thanks for that answer. Sounds like that like me you aren't hard on clothes. I don't think I've ever really worn a piece of clothing - or even shoes out. Yet other people I know are really hard on clothes and tear them, get them stained, lose buttons, rub holes in thighs, get big nicks in shoes, wear stuff out..
Dressing well must be hard because the only people I see ever getting it right are in their later years.
^Oh, I don't know now, I see a general decline in the dressing of older gents, compared to my grandfather's generation which was born during and immediately after WWI.
